I don't want to hijack the other thread any more ( https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...to-form-nope-develop-any-habit-quickly.60179/ )
But I couldn't let the conversation die. It's rare to see something like this unfold in nature in real time.
The first post was a well-intentioned offering of information, followed immediately by doubt and resistance.
My trust alarms were going off like crazy.
I want everybody to take away a few important lessons.
This is a business lesson dressed up as silly internet politics.
OP said this:
Interestingly, People don't just take money, or value, or advice, or anything.
We're irrational, but PREDICTABLY irrational. It's not just one or two people who get suspicious, it's all of them. It's programmed into them to be skeptical.
When you look at the animal kingdom, squirrels, birds, and dogs all prefer to work for their food, even if free food is available.
Knowing how these weird rationalities work is priceless. Internalizing such behavior is what makes sales people great. These lessons are all around you. Always be observing and always be learning.
